In the Title IX lawsuit — the seventh filed against the school — “Jane Doe” alleges that she was drugged and then up to eight football players took turns raping her. This lawsuit joins similar accusations against the school and its football program, specifically.

Jane Doe asserts in her lawsuit that while at a party in 2012, she was put in a vehicle and carried elsewhere by a Baylor football player, and the suit alleges that four players took turns raping her, though she was informed at a later date that it may have been as many as eight. After the assault, the suit alleges that the football players subjected her to “verbal abuse and public humiliation.” The suit also claims that the school had a culture of hazing for freshman players and that “the gang rapes were considered a 'bonding' experience for the football players.”

Similar allegations that have already resulted in the firing of the school’s football coach, the demotion of the university’s president, and the probation then resignation of the athletic director. A lawsuit filed in June 2016 claimed that "Baylor and Baylor regents created a hunting ground for sexual predators to freely prey upon innocent, unsuspecting female students, with no concern of reprisal or consequences,” according to the Associated Press.

In November 2016, Baylor released a statement saying that the university found that former football coach Art Briles and athletic director Ian McCaw as well as a sports administrator knew about a sexual assault allegation made against their players in 2013 and did not report it to anyone outside the athletic department.
